I got a plea for help from a fellow named Andrew Saunders
<ASAUNDERS(a)worldnet.att.net> who needs some help with his APPLE-][gs. Maybe
someone could help him out, as I surely can't. I know some of you guys know
more about this than I.
I sent him the mailing list address so he can subscribe if he wants.

I
My top of the head reaction to the name Amdek would be that the
diskettes are hard cased like a 3.5" diskette only narrower and have a
plastic hub that is accessible from either side of the case. They
are/were used in Amstrad PCW 8nnn machines, amongst others.

Any help would be appreciated!
